Two Baileys B52 cocktails sit on a wooden tray next to plates of chocolate macaroons and truffles.

The B52 is a timeless layered shot that’s as stunning to look at as it is delicious to sip. This classic shot brings together three iconic liqueurs — smooth Baileys Original Irish Cream, rich coffee liqueur, and bright orange liqueur - carefully layered in a shot glass to create a visually striking tri-colored drink with a wonderfully balanced flavour profile. Whether you’re rounding off a dinner party, raising a toast with friends, or simply indulging in something sweet and creamy, the B52 is a fun and flavourful way to elevate any occasion.
